Chapter 672: The Disadvantages of Being an Emperor

Xiang Liang's heart was already shocking at this time, because Qin An's words were very reasonable, for the sake of the throne, killing his brother and killing his brother would definitely happen.

"Sir, I mean, there's more." Zhang Han said.

Qin An bowed his head and said, "What I said just now is that the emperor favors other children, which will lead the crown prince to assassinate those princes.

If that's the case, it's fratricide."

"Isn't that serious?" Zhang Han couldn't help but say.

Qin An shook his head and said, "It's not serious, what is really serious is the killing of the father, in order to become the emperor, he will choose to kill the emperor."

Especially after being a prince for more than ten or even twenty or thirty years.

Because he has been in office for too long, the crown prince lives a life of fear every day, and they are afraid that one day the emperor will be unhappy and replace him.

And he has been in office for a long time, so his ambition exploded and he began to murder the emperor, that is, his biological father.

even rebelled and directly forced the emperor to abdicate.

There are countless such things in history, and if I become emperor, even if I can prevent such incidents from happening in my own time, I can never guarantee that such things will not happen to my descendants.

It's just cannibalism, fratricide, but it's still preventable.

But there is one thing that the emperor is very tired of, that is, to deal with official business, as the emperor handles the twists and turns as high as a mountain every day, and sleeps for so many hours every day.

I don't sleep well, I don't eat well, and I have a very short lifespan.

Someone has made a statistic that during the Qin and Han dynasties, the average life expectancy of emperors was only 35 years old, and it did not exceed 50 years old in the future.

However, if I don't become an emperor, I can easily live past the age of 60, and if I don't have to worry about money, I can even live a long life of 100 years, no, more than 100 years old.

The person I live the longest in China is rumored to be more than 200 years old, but as far as I know, that is, in the outside world now, there are people who are 140 years old.

I can live for a hundred years, why should I still be an emperor and die so quickly."

"How easy it is to live past the age of 60? It is even possible to live to be one hundred and forty years old, what kind of elixir has been taken?" Zhang Han said.

"What an elixir, it's just an ordinary way to maintain health." Qin An said, "Ordinary people don't pay attention to any health regimen, their life is just to eat, drink and lazar.

Rich people pay great attention to health because they have a lot of money, which is enough for them to use for several lifetimes.

So I really want to live a few more years.

Therefore, there is such a saying: the richer the person, the more afraid of death."

Zhang Han nodded slightly, and said, "What Mr. said is very reasonable, it is true that the richer you are, the more afraid you are of death.

Sir, can you tell me the way to maintain your health?"

"The way to maintain health, to put it bluntly, is to eat well, sleep well, exercise moderately every day, and don't worry about anything, just calm down." Qin An said.

Xiang Liang said, "Sir, what else? Is there any reason why you don't want to be an emperor?"

Qin An frowned slightly, and said, "Old Xiang, you seem to be very concerned about this matter."

Zhang Han also frowned and looked at Xiang Liang.

Xiang Yu didn't seem to know that Zhang Han was explaining himself, and then said, "Sir, I'm really curious, it stands to reason that everyone wants to be the emperor, but why does Mr. not want to be the emperor.

Just now, Mr. said that being an emperor will lead to fratricide, father and son, but there is no way to prevent it. Then you don't have to worry about that at all.

And Mr. said that dealing with too many twists and turns will lead to a short lifespan, but I heard that Mr. once said that the cabinet system can help the emperor deal with twists and turns, since this is the case, then the matter of twists and turns is irrelevant, and it will definitely not affect the emperor's lifespan.

So I guess there must be something that the gentleman doesn't want."

"Old Xiang, you're right." Qin An said, "There are actually many disadvantages about being an emperor.

First, you live in the palace, surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids, as well as a group of concubines.

Let's not talk about the concubines, let's just say that the eunuchs and palace maids, especially the eunuchs, will interfere in politics, even if I don't interfere in politics in this dynasty, but who can say for sure in the future.

Let's talk about the Ming Dynasty, the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang clearly set up a stone tablet and told future generations that the harem should not interfere in politics, but within a few generations, because the emperor favored the eunuchs, the power of the eunuchs became stronger and stronger.

In the end, a nine-thousand-nine hundred and ninety-nine-year-old eunuch appeared, and the emperor was only one year old. You say how much power the eunuchs have.

This is a eunuch who brings disaster to the country and the people, but the responsibility is on the emperor's back.

Immediately after talking about the harem, you may not have experienced harem infighting.

The battle in this harem is actually no worse than the battle in the court.

In the harem, there is only one man in the emperor, in order to get the emperor's renew, the concubines in the harem will definitely use eighteen kinds of martial arts to serve the emperor well.

As long as the emperor gets the emperor's renewal, then the people around this concubine can soar to the sky, as the so-called one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.

Therefore, in order for the master to attract the emperor, his subordinates will try their best to help, and over time, the concubines of the harem have become several forces.

These forces may form an alliance with each other against one another, but no one would have thought that the newly formed teammate would stab you in the back, in order to win the emperor's favor for herself.

And this is nothing, the really powerful is still the queen, the queen is the master of the harem, in order to consolidate her position, the queen will buy the imperial doctor and give the pregnant concubine to drink abortion pills.

Even if it's not an abortion pill, you will give her a stillborn pill, and by the time your child is born, the child will be dead.

There was a queen in the Qing Dynasty, so that all the concubines in the palace could not get pregnant, and even if they were pregnant, they would not let you give birth.

In the end, she was discovered by a concubine, but she took advantage of this incident to get pregnant by relying on the emperor's favor, and then her belly grew bigger day by day.

Then inadvertently, he deliberately asked the queen to say everything, and then deliberately let the queen push herself, resulting in a miscarriage.

And all the words that the queen said were heard by the emperor, and all this was specially arranged by the concubine.

The purpose is to pull the queen off the horse and become the master of the harem himself.

In the end, this concubine got what she wanted, and even who the emperor asked her to do in the end, it was up to her."

"Did she make her child emperor?" Xiang Liang asked.

Qin An shook his head and said, "No, she saw through the chaos in the harem, and in the end, the emperor would be killed by the women around him, so this concubine let her child be a prince and let the children of other concubines become emperors.

And this emperor's concubine was actually killed by the previous queen a long time ago, so this emperor was very grateful to the concubine for avenging his mother, and later he was very filial to this concubine."
